Jagged Germany

  In the western part of Russia, fierce fighting continues. Several army groups of the German army are still launching a fierce attack on the Russian defense line. However, the Russian army, which suffered heavy losses, can almost only rely on a few cities for defense. Moreover, it is still surrounded by the German army.

  Smolensk, an important city in western Russia, is also the western gateway of Moscow. Headquarters of the Russian Western Front. But now, Smolensk is surrounded by the German Army Group B. The German Eighth Panzer Army has advanced to fifty kilometers east of Smolensk, posing as if it is about to launch an attack on Moscow.

  Although the Russian army clearly knows that the German army is still two to three hundred kilometers away from Moscow, it is impossible to attack Moscow before solving the remnants of the Western Front Army. But even so, the high-level Russian military still sent additional troops to the surrounding areas of Moscow to ensure Moscow's security. It was, after all, the capital of Russia, their heart. Once Moscow is breached by the German army, the whole Bu Russia may perish. Therefore, the security of Moscow is very important and absolutely cannot be lost.

  The headquarters of the German Army Group B is placed less than 20 kilometers away from Smolensk. Admiral Guderian did not stay in the 8th Panzer Army all the time. Because, according to the Barbarossa plan, the German army only needs to take Smolensk in this stage of operations. Next, the whole army had to go on the defensive. The winter in Bue is very cold. Even if the German army made a lot of preparations before attacking. But no one knows whether they can persevere in such a cold winter. Therefore, the German army's attack on Bu Russia this time generally adopts cautious tactics, not like the head of state in another time and space, launching an attack rashly before making complete preparations. In the end, the seemingly powerful German army inevitably failed.

"Everyone, now our combat mission is only Smolensk. After taking Smolensk, the first phase of the combat mission will be over. Therefore, when the troops will switch to defense depends on what you have said. Time to take Smolensk!" Admiral Guderian said.

"Your Excellency Commander, there are not many Russian troops in Smolensk, with less than 300,000 people left. The surrounding Russian troops have also been defeated or wiped out by us, and Buo does not seem to have any Further intention to send reinforcements to Smolensk. Therefore, taking Smolensk should not be a big problem." said General Fedor von Bock, commander of the 3rd Army.

"The 8th Panzer Army is just east of Smolensk. If the Russians want to reinforce Smolensk, they have to defeat them first. Otherwise, they will never get close to Smolensk." Commander of the 13th Army Lieutenant General Georg von Küchler said.

  The other generals also laughed.

   Attending this meeting, in addition to the generals of the German Army Group B, there were also the commanders of the five armies of the Polish Army and the commander of the Belarusian 1st Army.

   It's just that during the meeting, the generals of these slave countries almost had no right to speak, and they only had to listen to the orders of the German Empire. This time the attack on Smolensk, the Polish and Belarusian troops will also participate. After all, the casualties in street fighting are often very large, and even the German army will pay considerable casualties. In such a battle, it is just right for the army of the slave country to fill in.

"Right now, the Russian army in Smolensk has become a turtle in the urn. Next, we just need to get rid of them all! Your Excellency Commander, we can launch an attack at any time!" Enter Fedor von Bock will say.

Admiral Guderian nodded: "Everyone, the attack on Smolensk will start tomorrow. The 3rd Army, the 1st Army of the Polish Army, the 2nd Army and the 1st Belarusian Army will invest in the attack on Smolensk. Attacking. Within half a month, Smolensk must be taken and the Russian army inside must be eliminated."

   "Yes, Your Excellency Commander!" Several generals replied,

"Other troops, you can transfer to the defense line. Russia's winter is coming. The rear is transporting a large amount of supplies for the winter. We must build a strong defense line before winter comes. Waiting for the Russians in the cold winter The counterattack in the middle. Wait until next winter, it is time for us to take Moscow!" Admiral Guderian said.

  The task of the German Army Group B is to capture Moscow. The mission of Army Group C is the same as theirs. Similarly, these two group armies, which assembled the main force of the German army, needed to eliminate the main force of the Russian army before they captured Moscow. Only in this way can they successfully take Moscow.

   "Yes, Your Excellency Commander." A trace of fanaticism flashed in everyone's eyes. If Moscow can be won, this will undoubtedly make everyone feel excited. After all, Moscow is the capital of Russia. Winning here may mean that the war can end.

  When the German Army Group B was preparing to attack Smolensk, the German Army Group C was also attacking Kursk and Voronezh. The remnants of the Russian Southwest Front Army huddled in these two cities, struggling to support, and it was only a matter of time before they were solved by the German C Army Group.

  In the northwest of Burus, Ulyanovgrad, formerly known as St. Petersburg, the German Army Group A, the armies of the three Baltic countries and the Finnish army also surrounded the city. The remnants of the Northwest Front Army led by the Russian general Admiral Kuznetsov are holding on to the city named after the great leader of Bu Russia.

  Although, the Russian army is ready to stick to Ulyanovgrad. However, they are not only at an absolute disadvantage in terms of soldiers. At the same time, after being surrounded, the supply line was also cut off. The Russian troops stationed in the city of Ulyanov, as well as the millions of Bu Russian people, have no food source. The food in the city simply cannot last long. At that time, I am afraid that there is no need for the German army to launch an attack. Just continue to siege, and it will be enough to starve all the Russian troops and those Russians in the city to death.

  Of course, Army Group A did not pin their hopes on the siege. Admiral Bromberg hoped to take the city before Winter came. Although, Ulyanov was bigger and more difficult to conquer than Smolensk. But Admiral Bromberg believes they will succeed.
